History Will Repeat Itself
Both in the essay and in the practical assignment I want to study how re-enactment relates to simulation. I think these concepts are very similar, but they are also different in a few ways. By creating an enacted simulation and writing about what others have said about these two phenomena I hope to learn a great deal about how computers and performance art can relate to each other.
Practise
In my practical assignment I want to focus upon the embodiment of simulations. An important aspect of re-enactments is the opportunity for the audience/participants to live through an important moment in history. A simulation is used to analyse a system and make tactical decisions based on this analysis. It is never used as a tool to give an experience. Embodiment is a first step to such a purpose for simulations.
At the moment I'm thinking about how the simulation will be handling input and output. For output I think there are the following options:
- Projection on a screen. I have a 4x3 meter projection screen and projection on different fabrics might also be interesting.
- SMS gateway. This allows a computer to send messages to mobile phones. If you hand out devices you can control the sound they make. Tim Etchells has worked with instruction over SMS.
- Mobile internet. You can give instructions over a smartphone compatible site. I will be able to control sound (and video) on those devices.
- Analogue. A person can call out the instructions he/she reads on a screen, or transfer them in some other analogue way.
